Salmon Fishing
Salmon fishing in marine waters is the most popular sport fishery in the Sitka area. All five species of pacific salmon can be found in these waters, although Chinook and coho salmon are the most sought after by sport anglers. Chinook salmon catch rates typically peak in early June while coho catch rates peak in late August or early September. Vitskari Rocks, the Biorka Islands, Cape Edgecumbe, outer Kruzof Island, and Salisbury Sound are some of the most frequented areas. Anglers typically troll or mooch for salmon using baited hooks or a variety of colored spoons or hoochies.
